<!-- [DocumentBodyStart:82c5f234-88ac-4710-9489-52ad4e920325] --><div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>We recently moved to a house in South Wales and have this small tree in the garden which we have been unable to identify.&#160; It is just over 5 feet 5 inches high at the moment and quite wide and bushy and is probably no more than 6 or 7 years old as the house was built in 2005.&#160; The leaf growth is very dense and there was no spring blossom and the branches are twisted like a hazel tree.&#160; Unfortunately it has been planted right outside a window so we hope to move it in the autumn to somewhere which is more suited to it.&#160; Thanks in advance for any help.</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:82c5f234-88ac-4710-9489-52ad4e920325] -->Fri, 13 Jul 2012 09:34:48 GMThttp://www.nhm.ac.uk/natureplus/message/21415?tstart=0#21415Robert2012-07-13T09:34:48Z2 years, 7 months ago40
